The errata web site (http://www.redhat.com/apps/support/errata/) lists
specific dates.  For RHL 6.2, for example, the exact date is March 31.

You may (note: "may" not "will", I don't know for sure) see a few
advisories after that date with packages for RHL 6.2, but that would
depend on the timing of when the process for building/testing/pushing
the particular erratum was started.

The web site doesn't seem to have the detail there, but the posting to
redhat-announce-list from December [1] declared that all versions for
Alpha and Sparc were immediately EOL.
